A thread to post those cool and random things we've seen/read. Videos, papers, and articles on science or history are welcome here. It never gets dull to learn something new, discussion is encouraged! Thread will self destruct when we've learned everthing.

I'll kick things off with a new series from a channel I found way back when searching for mushroom growing vids. They've done a ton of cool projects. Their latest is learing to grow rat neurons to play doom. Yes.

Right?! Wonder if the something similar can be done with mycelium just to monitor its signals. There was one guy that hooked a music synthesizer up to oyster mushrooms I think.

A few months ago I came across an article about research into building mushroom computers. It's crazy to think about, but it sounds like we could eventually be able to train mushrooms to play Doom!

https://credo.science/ uses cell phones around the world as a giant cosmic ray detector! It can improve our detections for earthquakes.

Have you ever seen a 9-gigapixel map of the Milky Way galaxy? This jaw-dropping zoomable image by ESO contains ~84 million stars and it's unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
The original image has 24.6 gigabytes: https://buff.ly/R1dS5X
This is a tweet, though can't imbed. The image in the tweet zooms out automatically. The image at https://www.eso.org/public/images/eso1242a/zoomable/ you can manually zoom very far in.

Here's a little history of buttermilk.
I'd like to try and make some, we have a farm that sells unpasteurized milk in town. Buttermilk biscuits are bussin.

My new favourite thread ATM! Got me on those 'Dots' 'Squonk' and 'Pandoras Box' videos at about 4am... Great stuff, cozmyc. (Side note- I'd thought your username was: COZY-MYC then I read it as 'COSMIC' and got my mind blown apart... I think I really gotta get some sleep lol ) A few (hopefully not too many in one go) varied contributions here:
^ First comes from a channel whos simple eye catching visual style and choice of topics has kept my brain sparked up on the tail end of countless long LSD excursions in the past: Kurzgesagt! This one about intelligence is one of my favourites 
^Next, for the Twin Peaks fans out there- the story on the process of how that most iconic theme was written. "THAT'S IT! That's so beautiful! ANGELO! That's tearing my heart out!" gets me every time
 Rest in peace, Angelo.
^ Now, I'm not sure if this next one is simply a propaganda video from 'Big Biscuit' to keep us subserviant in our consumption, or if it's how Oreos are ACTUALLY unmade, either way it's a fascinating insight for anyone who has ever wondered about the technique behind powerslammers and the extraction methods performed by commercial Wizards.
^ Closing off with some crazy nature stuff, 'Mysteries of the Twilight Zone' by Natural World Facts. He has recently collaborated with the Schmidt Ocean Institute for a dank, 5 part, 4k series (I cannot for the life of me get it to embed without it being 1:54 in....)
Hope there's something in here for all you curious-cats. Enjoy!
